Stefanik Leads GOP Charge Against Elite Universities Following Antisemitism Hearing

Penn President resigns, Harvard President apologizes but remains in office, as 'Saturday Night Live' faces criticism for spoofing Stefanik instead of university presidents.

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) has become the face of a Republican movement against elite universities, following a House Education Committee hearing where she questioned university presidents about their handling of antisemitism on their campuses.
Stefanik's questioning of the presidents of Harvard, the University of Pennsylvania, and MIT has sparked a debate about free speech on college campuses and led to calls for the presidents to resign.
Penn President Liz Magill has resigned in the wake of the hearing, while Harvard President Claudine Gay has issued an apology but will remain in office.
Stefanik has announced that the Education Committee will launch an investigation into how these and other universities respond to antisemitism on their campuses.
NBC’s 'Saturday Night Live' has been criticized for spoofing Stefanik instead of the controversial testimony of the college presidents.
